Travel Theme: Benches, Part Deux

I had forgotten about this funny, quirky, adorable song when I wrote my previous “bench” blog, but my boyfriend kindly reminded me of its existence. Originally written by French singer-songwriter/poet Georges Brassens, Les Amoreux des Bancs Publics is all about couples making out on park benches. If this doesn’t belong in Ailsa‘s bench-themed blog, I don’t quite know what does.

Below are the original and a translated version, and below those are the lyrics. Enjoy!
